Prior to the period in which candidates' statements may be filed, the Clerk of <br />the Council shall prepare a written notice distributed to all candidates at the <br />time of issuance of the nomination papers, informing them that payment of the <br />pro rata share amount must be made at the same time as the candidate's <br />nomination papers are filed, as prescribed by the California Elections Code. <br />B.
